Background and approach
She guides clients through grief, relationship problems, parenting strain, workplace stress, and challenges linked to health or caregiving. She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT issues and those managing ADHD or bipolar mood concerns. Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods.
That means sessions often focus on clear, doable strategies and on noticing what matters most in life. She also uses tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit the situation. People who prefer a collaborative, practical approach often find her style useful.
Sessions look at patterns, try new skills, and check what’s actually working between meetings. Progress is tracked in small, concrete steps so clients can see change over time. She provides remote care by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, viewers are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Online approaches that focus on action and connection
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and practicing concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own experience, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people gain clarity and self-direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, what feels useful, and try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on how well they help in daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when shorter, more frequent contact helps maintain progress.
